Implementation fidelity is ensured through on-site teacher support, which includes a combination of: Classroom observations, 1-on-1 coaching sessions, and professional learning sessions on specific aspects of implementation. After each visit a Coaching Report will summarize the visit, provide additional targeted feedback and outline next steps.

VIRTUAL TEACHER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SUPPORT

A wide range of “just in time” videos provide solutions to GrapeSEED teacher challenges. Content includes topics such as: Unit Implementation Tips, Implementing with Fidelity Modules, and specific How to Effectively Teach Modules.

GRAPESEED CURRICULUM

Core Components

At GrapeSEED, we know a variety of teaching tools are needed to assist children when learning a language. Every curriculum component has a purpose, and together, they make a rich language learning opportunity.

Learn how each curriculum component intentionally aids in the teaching of each GrapeSEED student.

ACTION ACTIVITIES

Kids love to move! These action-packed activities are written to teach vital instructions, classroom commands, and action verbs.

SONGS

Behold the power of music, as these fun and engaging short songs with illustrations are used to teach vocabulary, language functions, and pronunciation. Combined with pictures and natural gestures, songs increase understanding of new language concepts.

CHANTS

STORIES

Daily repetition with comprehension over an extended period of time is a key part of the language acquisition process - stories give this opportunity. Stories expand students’ English vocabulary and language functions with different types of sentence structures.

VOCABULARY PICTURE CARDS

PHONOGRAM CARDS

Students learn the sounds of the English language and how they come together to make words - the foundation for reading. Air writing helps students learn the stroke order, name, and sound of each letter.

STORY DICTIONARIES

Reading stories engages students in discussion, which builds their ability to communicate and improves confidence. Each Unit includes a story dictionary which reinforces the vocabulary words and language functions learned in the previous Unit.
